Crux Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Neil Armstrong: "On July 20, 1969, a few minutes into the final, critical phase of landing on the Moon, the guidance computer gave a number of alarm signals. After confirming these alarms were not important, and with landing imminent, Armstrong then realized by looking out a window that the planned landing area was strewn with large boulders. He took manual control of the spacecraft and was able to land past the boulder-strewn area. There was only 25 seconds of fuel left for the landing" Quote

G-spotter Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 Honnold & Haley could solo the moon in 72 hours single push alpine style solo. Discuss. Quote
rob Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 frustrating that 43 years have gone by and we've done nothing much more badass than this as a species... what the fuck are you talking about? We hit a comet with a spacecraft and took pictures of the explosion so we could find out what was inside. We fucking sky-craned a rover onto mars and it has a laser gun and shit. what's wrong with you boy? Quote
KaskadskyjKozak Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 frustrating that 43 years have gone by and we've done nothing much more badass than this as a species... Dude, what if they ran out of gas? Sorry, anything that can't be done without a call to a helicopter rescue is too risky. Quote

ivan Posted August 28, 2012 Posted August 28, 2012 robots n' probes n' droids are aid, dood So, they are right up your alley then, no? sure, the probe shit is interesting to me and very cool, but not nearly so cool nor interesting as a capsule landing on mars and out popping chuck norris w/ a flying roundhouse to the defunct face of the derelict pathfinder Quote
rob Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 i dunno, hitting a fucking comet with a pebble from millions of miles away is pretty cool. It's like the astronomic version of shooting someone else's bullet out of the air. can you imagine the MATHS that took? I bet they even needed a calculator and shit. Quote
ivan Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 the probe shit is more scientific than adventury though, and science is, like, all faggoty and stuff, no? Quote
Pete_H Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 Yeah but science is important cause apparently its recently shown how women can't get pregnant from being raped. Quote
